Great first issue to re-introduce us to one of the weirdest Marvel characters. Of course long time fans may be bored by the necessary catching-up, but for a #1 issue it does a very good job staying informative, quirky and at the same time giving some depth to the character. For now the threat is quite generic, but of course the benefit of doubt should be granted.
I AM MOON KNIGHT!
The mysterious Mr. Knight has opened his Midnight Mission, his people petitioning for protection from the weird and horrible. The Moon Knight stalks the rooftops and alleys marked with his crescent moon tag, bringing violence to any who would harm his people. Marc Spector, in whichever guise he dons, is back on the streets, a ...
Decent new starting point after a long break I took from comics. Arno is not a great protagonist, but the entire idea of Tony feeling more machine than human now is interesting. The cosmic threat of the "Extinction Entity" is boring.
• The future is now! Artificial Intelligences presents a clear and present danger to humanity and must be brought to heel!
• The Robot Rebellion battles for the establishment of robot rights!
• And Arno Stark IS Iron Man!
PLUS! Pete Woods' main cover art will feature a 5th Color Flourescent Ink treatment!

Pretty crazy and clever idea by Snyder, as we've come to expect.
"The Sixth Dimension" part one! At last, the Justice League has the map to the Sixth Dimension in hand-and with it, they have the key to saving the Multiverse from utter destruction!

Stunning art and a story that unfolds without giving away everything at once.
From the Peabody Award-winning creators of Jessica Jones comes a brand-new creation...Pearl. She is a master tattoo artist and reluctant assassin for the Yakuza she was born into, with a very special gift taught to her by her late mother. But a secret she has kept from everyone may be her only chance at happiness beyond the world she was brought up...
Another chilling episode, with more links to the mysterious "One Below" mentioned in #3... great implementation of a lesser known character as well.
• Walter Langkowski is an ex-football star, a space diplomat and a beloved super hero. Walter Langkowski is charming, healthy and outgoing. Walter Langkowski is the opposite of Bruce Banner.
• And Walter Langkowski is going to die today, because he went looking for Banner...
• ...and found the IMMORTAL HULK.

From the Peabody Award-winning creators of Jessica Jones comes a brand-new creation. PEARL is the story of an exceptional tattoo artist and accidental assassin for one of the modern-day San Francisco Yakuza.
She was born into one life, but another is calling to her. When Pearl accidentally meets one of her peers, her doppelgänger from ano...
"THE TIP OF THE SPEAR"
Mister Miracle and Big Barda are in a panic. The war with Apokolips isn't going well. And it's Barda's turn to have her past come crashing back into her present as the Female Furies appear on the scene with blood on their minds. Continuing the acclaimed miniseries that Entertainment Weekly called "by far the best comic on the stands right now."
Beautiful art, but I'm not digging the narrative style Azzarello adopts here. There are some interesting aspects to it, like the astonishingly blasphemous and beautiful last few pages, but the overly vague voice-over from Constantine really didn't help throughout.
DC BLACK LABEL, the highly anticipated new imprint from DC Comics, starts here!
The Joker is dead.
There is no doubt about that. But whether Batman finally snapped his scrawny neck or some other sinister force in Gotham City did the deed is still a mystery.
Problem is, Batman can't remember... and the more he digs into this labyrinthin...
DEADPOOL KILLS CABLE Part 1
Deadpool's going back to his vile beginnings as a mercenary and wanted killer. No more being a hero. No more X-Men. No more Avengers. And if he wants to break bad again, what's more despicable than killing your best friend? Cable better get ready because his old friend Wade...
When DR. JANE FOSTER lifts the mystic hammer Mjolnir, she is transformed into the Goddess of Thunder, THE MIGHTY THOR! Her enemies are many, as Asgard descends further into chaos and war threatens to spread throughout the Ten Realms. Yet her greatest battle will be against a far more personal foe: the cancer that is killing her mortal form.
DARK NIGHTS: METAL left the DCU transformed in ways both terrifying and wondrous-and only the Justice League is strong enough to face the threats to come...or are they? Four giant beings comprised of the universe's major energies-Mystery, Wonder, Wisdom and Entropy-who sustain their life force by devouring planets are on their way to destroy the pl...
"THE TOTALITY" part one! A brand-new era begins here! Comics legends Scott Snyder and Jim Cheung launch the Justice League into a cosmos-shaking mystery that will draw out their most terrible foes...in ways our heroes couldn't possibly imagine!

I'll never get tired to say that writing the core superhero team for Marvel or DC might be the hardest feat in mainstream comics, and if anyone was going to be able to do it, that was Scott Snyder. He has by now proved himself over and over, both in more intimate stories (most of his Batman run) and in hyper bombastic ones (for one, Metal), so I believe he's going to make the Justice League great more

Cyclops. Iceman. Angel. Beast. Marvel Girl. The original team of teen mutants brought together by Professor Charles Xavier many years ago have been shunted through time to find a world they barely recognize but were determined to help. Now, finding themselves targeted for death, the future of mutantkind lies squarely in the hands of its past. Write...
Ed Brisson is tasked with streamlining the complex situation that started six years ago with Bendis's run on "All-New X-Men", and it looks like he's doing a good job at it. Sure, the story is nothing special at all and feels like the nth iteration of characters from the future/past messing up with the X-Men, but it is laid out in a very human, family-like way that I really appreciate in an X-Comicmore

All these reviews giving low scores because the FF aren't together yet don't see the point. This was a very good introduction to possible new readers but also featured a massively important event for the reunion of the team. It also has the light-hearted feeling that an FF comic should carry, so all seems to point to Slott being the right choice for the greatest super-team of all time.
FOUREVER Part One
BECAUSE YOU DEMANDED IT - THE WORLD'S GREATEST COMIC MAGAZINE IS BACK!
Since the end of SECRET WARS, there's been a gap in the Marvel Universe. A void no other team can fill. And it's time for the world to move on. But can it? A life-changing decision by the Thing! A momentous declaration by the Human Torch! A clarion call...

Complete trash dialogues, story and art up until the last couple of pages. Probably still an idiotic turn of events, but I'll give Spencer the benefit of doubt, AGAIN.
An alien invasion hits New York City and the only one who can stop it is...Spider-Man?! But that's far from all you'll find here - a revelation from the past puts Peter Parker's job, relationships, and whole life in jeopardy! And if even that's not enough, you'll see a new roommate, new love interests - and a new villain! Spider-Man goes back to...
A pretty bad start for a series I already didn't have too much faith in. Let's face it: Dan Slott cannot write complex characters, and he really shows it here, with the most cliché issue #1 in the whole Fresh Start relaunch. The art was nothing special either.
